Top Chef Winner Buddha Lo to Lead Cooking Class at Robb Report's Culinary Masters in New Orleans

other · 2026-04-27

Buddha Lo, who has taken home the Top Chef title twice, is set to host a hands-on cooking demonstration at the Culinary Masters event by Robb Report in New Orleans from May 7 to 9. He’s putting a twist on the traditional English breakfast to pay homage to New Orleans, featuring items like shrimp po-boy toast with caviar, coddled eggs with andouille and tasso, and a unique old bay hollandaise. Guests will savor these dishes in the River Ballroom and Foyer of the Four Seasons New Orleans. Lo began his culinary journey in his family's Chinese restaurant in Port Douglas, Australia. He trained at the William Angliss Institute in Melbourne and has worked at top spots like Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and Eleven Madison Park. Remarkably, he won Top Chef back-to-back in 2022 and 2023. His restaurant, Huso, which debuted in 2019, has recently relocated to a larger space within Marky's Caviar in Tribeca, now featuring 28 seats and a menu centered around caviar and dry-aged duck.
